Funding the science for a future
without dementia.
CLEAR advances dementia research across Canada to accelerate prevention, treatment, and ultimately a cure.
Who We Are
CLEAR (Canadians for Leading Edge Alzheimer Research), is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to ending Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Our work is urgent and steadfast: to fund the most promising research led by pioneering scientists, bringing hope to the nearly 1 million Canadians living with memory loss diseases.
Dementia is One of Canada’s Most Critical Health Challenges
Dementia is now among the top 10 causes of death in Canada.
Every day, it is projected that over 414 people develop the disease, which is 17 cases each hour.
The impact of dementia extends far beyond those diagnosed, affecting families, caregivers and communities nationwide.
